Isn't the paint on top of head exposed to hot oil going to flake off and flow to all parts of the engine?
a 557 thin saddle engine not good for racing. bt Quote:

All casting info ground off heads (what are they? They're pre-'74, whatever they are), rusty bolts, grungy bare aluminum, Chevy orange not even applied carefully/thoroughly. No info whatsoever on parts used for rebuild. Honestly, if you can't be bothered to properly paint a rebuilt engine and choose to use rusty bolts on the outside, how can anything done inside be trusted? This looks like nothing more than a hack job consisting of spare parts thrown together for the purpose of fleecing someone out of some money.

The paint inside the head is probably Glyptol. Its a sticky oil resistant paint used on electric motors. It makes the oil drain back down into the sump quicker.

I'm kinda leaning towards someone seeing Glyptal in an engine and thinking it was paint....so they decided to 'paint' theirs too.... That looks just a little orange for Glyptal to me.

How do I know all of this? I removed the moldings from my '69 Bonneville wagon several years ago. Had to weld up the holes and grind off all of the pins.

That is the crustiest, crappiest looking "rebuilt" engine I've ever seen. Pretty much an 'F' for effort.

Not really epic, but I'm seeing a skill testing question here...
If you know Chevelles, you'll know what's "wrong" in this pic  https://vancouver.craigslist.org/rds...898558142.html |
